THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs VASANTIBEN W/O TARSINGBHAI SHANTILAL TADVI Advocate - G N VASAVA — 1730/2025

Case Summary The court acquitted Vasantiben Tarasingbhai Tadvi of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65AA, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that while the police produced evidence of seizure of liquor, the prosecution's witnesses provided contradictory statements and lacked corroborating evidence from independent witnesses to establish that the accused actually possessed the contraband. Applying the fundamental criminal law principle that the burden of proof rests solely on the prosecution and any reasonable doubt must benefit the accused, the court acquitted the accused and ordered release of seized material as per law.
